To be frank, education is very good as it will expose you to the real sense of values in life. But if I will advise, you should think it in two ways cos things if life don't work as planned sometimes. First, if u are sure of job after school then you better go for studying now. But if u are not sure, I suggest you should better collect all the tuition and other fees involved once, if necessary and establish a business and then train yourself from the profit u make. Secondly, if u must go to school now, ensure you are going to study a self-employable course so u can stand on ur own even if job doesn't come after graduation. Wish u luck. |

Education is power. If your parents give you the money, you could get a laptop with good data connection. Take a couple of professional courses on sites like udemy.com or coursera.org to build skills related to that business and get educated while doing it. The good thing is that they offer certifications that are recognized globally at least you have something to show for your credentials if it ever boils down to that. If you commit to these courses you will be a master in that field within 2 years. That's like half of the time you would've spent in the university only to for you to join the line of unemployment or even start learning something else from scratch. PS: I don't mean going to the university is a bad decision or a one-way ticket to unemployment. Just giving my recommendation based on the situation |

Here is my answer. I have gone to school, given the chance to either pick whether I like to do it again--- I will happily join the ride. School goes beyond class rooms, writing exams and getting certified 1 Like |

[quote author=ProfAmaben post=90194660]Very good question. First of all, you have to understand what a university is. A university is a place where you attain a higher level of education through research and course work relevant to your discipline. Acquiring University education prepares you better for life's challenges and makes it way easier for you to Integrate in any environment, those in the hostels would agree with me on this. Secondly, a university is bascally an environment for education, which grants the pursuer of knowledge the requisite knowledge of what he seems to attain. Thirdly, a university grows your social and future business network as so many have gotten employment through their former university friends and colleagues. Fourthly, a university opens doors for intelligent and dogged students. There are so many jobs you can't get without being a graduate but there's no job that you can't get being a graduate sir is it true dat HND is about to be scrapped in nigeria |

What can you get from meeting of professors when this kind of question is thrown in the floor of the house. My advice for op is to forget university education for now. Collect your school fees and other money supposedly used to train in school and use same to start a cool business, by the time ur colleagues in uni are graduating and passing out from nysc. You have already tens of millions profit. You will employ them, use their knowledge and pay them peanut as salary. You can after establishing your business to certain level go back to university or enroll in a correspondent course and acquire your degree as well. That is my own take. Am planning this strategy for my first son. I just saving his settlement money to be used to support him after learning trade at onitsha. |

A university education or its equivalent is a very important part of a person's entity. Money cannot replace sound education. The problem in this part of the world is that many equate education with good income. |

U can start a business and still loose all the money. U can go to school and still not get employed. From experience I will advice u to find something u know u can be doing that will fetch you money in school. E.g being a barber, a music producer or any lucrative service rendering biz that u know suits u best. I bet u school will be fun. By the time u are out of school I bet you. It's the biz u will continue doing or find a better offer if need be. |

[quote author=Godwin5766 post=90216803][/quote] HND is not going to be scrapped because they are also important and relevant. Polytechnics are the citadel of practical knowledge while university encompasses both theory and practice. If you are brilliant with high jamb scores, it's safer to follow the university route. If you are a genius in building things and want the stress of BSC vs HND all your life, go for HND. |

Bro, collect the money. contact me, I'll link you up with a Ghanian school, you will buy the certificate and go for service. the school is legit. your name will be in their database. and if they want to verify anything the school will confirm that you actually attended there. by so doing you will save yourself those 4 or 5 years you would have wasted. |

This question self. As for me I believe you shouldn't go. Education is not a money making venture (that is why we still see idiots that cheat in the university) the university is not like a secondary school neither is it a business centre. Education is something worth striving for if you are contemplating this kind of question just burn it and do trade or if you have the zeal to learn start learning on your own. |

Eddykul: Bros... Just collect the complete money, enter year one.. Start hustling with the balance of the money. Dont depend on the useless certificate but just file it after final year. Start ur hustle from year one while going to school. Put your hustle first before the school anywhere wey hard sort am. But make sure you put all your energy and mind in your business. Nigeria institutions are useless in the current world. 1 Like |

ProfAmaben:see,the thing about school is that they don't teach us about money which is the reason why almost all the people who chant "school na scam" say so. A lot of people are having money problems and to think that out parents "told" us that going to school will solve our money problems. Frustration is what makes people say school na scam. The real problem is not that school is a scam its just that school don't teach us about money |

Heartlessbanker: School is solely meant for education not money making. Although, with the skills you learn from schools, you can make money. That is why we keep preaching to students to study professional courses that enables you stand without job seeking. Most professors don't know how to make money asides their salaries, a wise student should read a marketable course. Don't study microbiology and shout unemployment. I hardly see computer science graduates that are unemployed. |

ProfAmaben:The course you study doesn't define you,I mean,how can the course you study even define you sef?anybody can learn to make money regardless of what they study. Everyone won't be an engineer, a doctor,etc. We also need scientist.people that will devote their entire life to studying and making new discoveries that will aid the country............. |
Re: Advice Needed: Is Going To The University Worth It Anymore? by Nobody: 9:47pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
ProfAmaben:Its not even only about professors. Almost all of us were not taught anything on how to make money. And this is the real problem not school. |

My brother don't do that. The only thing I can advice you to do is ;Hustling while still @ school. You can also be doing some rough work through out your 4/ 5 years @ school. My brother, you can make up to 1 million. Formal education equiq someone with knowledge, skills even you would experience what life means. |
